Hi guys! I usually post fresh music. But today I am making an exception because I can’t resist when I hear powerful death metal stuff 🙂 Today here is the band Spread The Shadows from Miami, United States, and their song “The Crossing”, from the EP “The Crossing”. Let’s check it out!
Prepare yourself for a journey into the depths of darkness with a Miami-based death metal outfit, Spread The Shadows. The track, “The Crossing,” is a relentless onslaught of ferocious growls, blistering guitar riffs, and thunderous drums that shake the very ground beneath your feet. With lyrics that paint a vivid picture of vengeance and despair, the song plunges listeners into a world of chaos and turmoil, where the boundaries between life and death blur into obscurity.
I hear a lot of influences in this stuff (at least, I think so). The beginning of the song reminds me of Decapitated, then a bit of Cannibal Corpse, and the acoustic ending brings me some light vibes of good old Death. The track (and the whole release actually) sounds wonderful!
Drenched in raw emotion and fueled by unbridled aggression, “The Crossing” is a testament to Spread The Shadows’ mastery of the death metal genre. From the hauntingly atmospheric outro to the bone-crushing breakdowns, every moment of the track is meticulously crafted to leave a lasting impact on the listener. With its blend of melodic intricacy and brutal intensity, this track is sure to satisfy even the most discerning fans of extreme metal. So brace yourself for an unforgettable sonic journey as Spread The Shadows beckons you to traverse the dark and treacherous realms they have crafted with “The Crossing.”
As usual, thank you all for listening to the good music, and being with me here! Stand with Ukraine! Peace <3
LYRICS
He shakes the ground With rabid wrath I'm caught in grief In vengeance upon heaven The all embracing Deceiving blazing star Above the shades A blazer door of stones An oblation to the breathless To the ones Destined by the faiths To certain doom In front of the hideous gates On barren lands Disastrous lunacy Taken by malign shapes to Hell Oh crescent moon Ageless light Crossing the bridges of sorrow I dared to gaze Into the realm of the unseen Following nothing As I kept returning to The light of deception and deceit Lost souls wandering Regretting leaving that Illusion we called life I'm shapeless, extinguished Abysmal lake Of bitter dismal waters Entering now Into the kingdom Of the doomed and the despaired Devoured by earth Into the land of arid oaths And broken vows Conceal the curse Surrounded by the unburied Trapped between two worlds The unhallowed hordes Of he condemned Awaiting to transcend I'm crossing I'm crossing
